The After-Dinner Nan.

There is much difference of on;n;o
concerning the desirability of an afta,
dinner nap. Those who advocate
cite the example Of animals, but the,
gorge themselves with food wlepers
opportunity offers, and are heavy an
drowsy in consequence. A short 70,
is, however, different from letharc;
sleep, and often appears to do goSd
Brain-work should certainly be ia,
hidden after dinner; the interval h
tween it and bedtime should be devote
to recreation and amusement. In ii
case of elderly people short nap afte|
late dinner often aids in digestion
but as q general rule it is better "a
such persons to make their principa
meal at p. m. The digestive powell
of most elderly people are at a low eli
in the evening. When sleeplessness

the cause whenever possible. Tn

and when this is the case the ordinar]
remedies for inducing sleep are wors1
than useless. The nervous relation
between the brain and the stomach ar
so intimate that disorder of the on
organ is almost certain to affect til

sons is due to the poisonous effect o
the morbid material upon the nervous
system. Excessive smoking, too much
alcohol, tea, and coffee, often resorted ]
to by overworked persons, are frequent
causes of sleeplessness. In all thess
cases the cause is removable, while thd
effect may be counteracted by appro1

can find time for. A ride on horse.

is probably the best form of exercise

may be practically valueless if the mind

the laws of his country, and l wish you to
take charge of him. l have the papers in
my possession which will prove my asser-
ton, and will produce them at the proper
time"
Turning, he saw Lenore, who had seemed
strangely moved at the sound of his voice.
Their eyes met. A look of amazement
gradually took the place of the first merely
plying gaze which the gentleman had
fixed upon her; and when. after an effort
to recall the ideas his voice had evolved
from out the misty past, Lenore at last
said, hesitatingly, "Don't you know Lenore,
YOUR own little Lenore, Uncle Giulio?"
He put out his arms and caught her,
rags and all, to his breast, and carried her
up the broad stone steps to where his
newly-made wife, Stella's auntie, stood.
ut is my brother's long-lost child, Mary,
he said, in voice choked with emotion.
"Who would have thought that this great
10y would have come to me just at this
time? Truly God is good!"
1t was true. Ignore had been stolen
from her home by Giacomo, her fathers
valet. He had concealed his whereabouts
so cleverly that until now he had escaped
discovery.
You may at the present day see an
anomaly i'll Italy; fine old residence,
whose lodge at the entrance gates is oe-
c'1pied by ruddy- faced Irishwoman. A
lright-looking maid servant often takes an
opportunity to run down from her young
mistress employment to see Granny Ma
hone, who is thus reaping the interest of
her good deed in sheltering and feeding
the two helpless waits OF that distant
night.
Giulio has taken Luigi under his
especial protection, and when his educa-
ton is completed he is to marry Lenore,
for the childish love which had become
rooted in their young hearts has grown into
strength with each passing year, until at
last it has blossomed into that deathless
plant whose amaranthine bloom has its
root in this world, its fruition in the
heavenly garden.

Some Advice to Wives.

Kemember that you are married to a
man and not to God; be prepared for
impcrfections.
Anticipate the discovery by your hus-
band that YOU are "only woman" if
YOU were not he would not care about
you.
Once in q while let your husband
have the last word; it will crafty him
and be no particular loss to you.
BE reasonable; it is a great deal to
ask under some circumstances, but do
try; reasonable women are rare-be
rare.
Remember that servants are made of
the same material that you are; little
coarser grained, perhaps, but the same
in essentials.
Try and forget yourself; as to your
husband, forget that you married him,
and remember that he married you !;
he will then probably do the reverse.
Let him read the newspaper at break
fast table; it is unsociable, but, then, it
is only trihe, after all, and he likes it.
Let him know more than you do once
in a while; it keeps up his self-respect,
and you will be none the worse for adj
uniting that you are not actually infal-
lible.
Read something in the papers besides
fashion notes and society columns; have
some knowledge Of what is going on in
foreign countries.
Be companion to your husband if
he is wise man; and if he is not, try
to make him become your companion.
Raise his standard, do not let him lower
yours.
Respect your husbands relations, es-
pecially his mother-she is not the less
his mother because she is your mother
in-law; she loved him before you did

Two ARCHITECTS were discussing the
frequency OF cases where persons die
soon after moving into now houses
which they have built for their use.
Said one architect: "That such cases
are frequent believe. have known
three OF four in my own practice. But
the deaths are due to exposure during
the erection of the houses, Or to damp
walls, OF to waiting too long before do
Gliding to build. Some men don't go to
an architect until they are about ready
to succumb to old ago." The other re-
piled: II too have known a number of
eases of persons dying just after they
have settled themselves in their new
houses, and sometimes have thought
that their fate is in accordance will,

the man vino tore down his barns and
built greater, and whose soul was re-
quired Of him that night?"

The fact that Sidney Dillon was
one of the purchasers of the
Wheeling and Erie Railroad some
days ago again calls attention to a
fiAancier who has had an inter-
esting career. He is one of the most
popular of the moneyed powers of this
country. He traces his genealogy back
to the Huguenots, and some of his an
cestors were Irish. Sidney Dillon is
tall, well-advanced in years. He used
to be water-boy on the Mohawk and
Hudson Railroad, and worked for 81
week. In after years he rolled up
fortune of $15,O00,O00, but he lost
heavily by the depreciation in the value
Of Union Pacific Railroad stock. After
working industriously as boy num-
Der of years and carefully saving his
money lie was able to buy q horse and
cart, and then he carried water and
sand for the railroad. He was all
energy and enterprise, never letting
chance slip. In few years he found
himself able to hire or buy number
of horses and carts, and then he struck
out in larger enterprises. He grad
ually secured railrord contracts, which
proved very renumerative, and in his
thirtieth year, when he married very
cstimable lady of Amherst, Mass, he
was in prosperous circumstances. This
lady greatly aided him by the influence
Of very superior nature. He was at
one time President of the Union Pa

rector in the Union Pacific, Pacific

preparation of the last Congress of
$4,000 for the repair of wooded YES
sells, the Hartford can have its share, as
it has been decided that the repairs will
not exceed 20 per cent. of the value of

The Buffalo conspirators, Hiram B.
and Charles M. Everest, have been
duly convicted by q jury, and it is to be
presumed will be duly sentenced by a
Judge, says the Chicago Inter Ocean.
The Buffalo conspirators were managers
of large oil refinery, said to be
branch of the Standard Oil Company.
They were American citizens, and were
very rich. Nevertheless it was proven
to the satisfaction of jury that they
were conspirators, moved by much the
same spirit that prevails among an
archists. They were men who believed
in the domination of Groups" over law
as firmly as Messrs. Spies and Parsons
do, and they proceeded to assert that
domination by the Spies and Parsons
methods. They procured dupes to blow
up the works of a rival company, just as
Spies and Parsons conspired with their
dupes to destroy property and life. The
GROUP" in whose success the Everests
took interest was formed of rich men,
the "group" in whose success Spies and
Parsons took interest was formed of
poor men. Before the law there are no
rich, no poor, and so the Buffalo conspi-
rators were convicted, even as were the
Chicago anarchists. The Buffalo men
do not call themselves anarchists, but
they conspired to destroy property.
